The Day I Met Marie - The Shadows

Imaging a still summer’s day.

When nothing is moving.

Least of all me.

I lay on my back in the hay.

The warm sun was soothing.

It made me feel good.

The day i met marie.

The sound of her whisper hello.

Came tiptoing softly into my head.

I opened my eyes kinda slow.

And there she was smiling.

It made me feel good.

The day i met marie.

With the laughing eyes.

She’d toss her hair and tantalize.

She came to touch me then she’s gone

Just like a summer breeze.

I remember her kiss

So soft on my brow

And the way that she said

Baby go to sleep now

Baby go to sleep now

I woke with the chill in the air

The warm sun no longer hung in the sky

I reached out but she was not there

She’d gone where she came from

But i still feel good

To think i’ve known marie

With the laughing eyes

She’d toss her hair and tantalize

She came to touch me then she’s gone

Just like a summer breeze
